Observations;

Congratulations to the Stephensons for the pole position for both Stock and Super Stock.

Jim Marshall's Nova is a very impressive race car.

Well there are 3 FAST SS cars hiding over in Comp with Cake being "Stud Duck" as my Dad would say. Nice Job Big Jim with a 40

How many pairs are they going to send before they realize they have an issue with the right lane timing system. Looks like a lazy photocell to me. Should be a handful of reruns if nhra does the right thing.

Looks like they have run nearly the entire round without doing anything about it. Will be a lot of reruns or a lot of unhappy racers.

I think its the sun, but even I am in Texas and sent Reinhart a text after I saw a few pairs. What a mess.

Surely something wrong with the right lane. Matt Rover had a 1.17 sixty foot time. No way!

Frank Castros · 03-12-2021, 11:24 AM

And with a .324 RT it's not the Matt Rover I know.

Bob Don · 03-12-2021, 11:46 AM

Looks like there were some reruns.

That morning sun was causing some kinda reflection on the lights in the right lane. It was also pretty tough for the drivers in the the left lane. Some couldn't find the tree in the left lane but they only re-ran a few that were way out of line in the right lane. I guess that was a toss of the coin flip. Tough way to start. Larry you didn't get a re-run. Do you think that 1.280 sixty foot time was correct?
